(Patriot.Buzz) – President Donald Trump announced his decision to personally inspect Fort Knox, addressing long-standing concerns about the nation’s precious metal holdings.
Trump’s decision to audit Fort Knox comes amid growing public skepticism and persistent rumors about the status of America’s gold reserves.
“We’re going to go to Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, to make sure the gold is there,” Trump declared, demonstrating his commitment to transparency and accountability in government.
The President’s initiative has garnered support from key business figures. Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey endorsed the move, stating, “I think if this administration presses for an audit, that’ll be a good thing for everybody.”
Many Americans remain skeptical despite assurances from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that annual audits are conducted and all gold is accounted for.
The high security at Fort Knox has fueled conspiracy theories questioning the accuracy of reported gold amounts. Trump’s hands-on approach aims to put these doubts to rest once and for all.
“We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there… do you know about that?” Trump said.
The President’s initiative has also caught the attention of tech mogul Elon Musk, who has been actively discussing the Fort Knox gold issue on social media.
Musk’s involvement has amplified public interest in the audit, with some supporters calling for a live stream to verify the gold’s presence in real-time.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), a long-time advocate for greater transparency, has been trying to verify the gold reserves for a decade.
The lack of annual reviews for these precious holdings has only intensified speculation about their status, making Trump’s audit all the more crucial.
According to the Treasury Department, U.S. gold reserves stand at 147,341,858.382 troy ounces. This treasure trove is valued at approximately $425 billion at current market prices.
However, the government’s official valuation remains at a mere $42 per ounce, unchanged since 1973 – a discrepancy that raises eyebrows among fiscal conservatives.
In addition, critics argued that the lack of transparency surrounding Fort Knox and other gold storage locations, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is unacceptable.
Trump’s initiative to audit these reserves is crucial to restoring faith in financial institutions and ensuring that America’s wealth is secure and accounted for.
As gold prices reach record highs, with spot gold recently hitting $2,954.69 per ounce, the importance of accurately valuing and securing national reserves cannot be overstated.
Trump’s commitment to verifying Fort Knox’s contents demonstrates his unwavering dedication to protecting America’s assets and putting America First.
